courtnek Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 They have been pressured to pass laws based on BSL, and have resisted!! Good for them!! Clarifying what a dangerous dog and a vicious dog are. A dog can be declared dangerous if it threatens someone without actually attacking a person. If there are three different reports of a dangerous dog, the dog is considered vicious. Any dog which actually attacks someone is considered vicious. If a pet owner fails to keep a vicious dog in an enclosure, it is a Class 4 felony under the new state law. Barring regulation by any political jurisdiction of specific breeds. Busch said this is standard and has been for years. He said the government cannot ban a specific breed, such as American pit bull terriers, because it is not considered the breed's fault if some of its kind are aggressive. "We've always put the onus on owners," he said. "It's individual animals and certain owners causing the problems, not all pit bulls, for instance." Busch said the new regulations will not force changes to the animal control facility the county is getting ready to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
